The Upside is a pandering mashup of nearly every scrap of emotional shorthand in a cinematic dustbin. Though the effect is not wholly unpleasant, it’s dull, disingenuous, and just as funny as a polite joke from a cashier to pass t...

Take me back to the beginning of 2017 and ask me which campy and unnecessary Dwayne Johnson movie would be better, ‘Jumanji 2’ or ‘Baywatch’. After hanging my head in shame, I would have grudgingly guessed ‘Baywatch’. I would have...

Can a movie exist primarily around the hilarity of seeing a middle-aged cartoon man wearing underoos? Yes, apparently it can. It’s called ‘Captain Underpants’. It comes from a successful series of children’s books, so presumably t...

Ben Affleck’s latest movie headed into the weekend with mixed reviews, leading most to believe that it would become his second of 2016 to fail to please audiences. No one predicted that it would perform as well as it did. Meanwhil...

This seemingly lackluster weekend comes with three new wide release movies, one of which just might leave audiences surprised by how good it is. Which do you think it is: the Ben Affleck thriller, the Kevin Hart stand-up concert, ...

‘The Secret Life of Pets’ might not be the latest ‘Minions’ movie, but it’s just as adorably amusing (if immediately forgettable) as anything starring those talking Happy Meal toys. This isn’t the best animated movie of the summer...

‘Central Intelligence’ is about as down-the-middle and distinctly average as mainstream comedies get. Although it’s a buddy action/comedy with Kevin Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – who are a particularly famous duo to trot ou...

The 2014 buddy-cop comedy ‘Ride Along’ wasn’t very good. However, it was released in a slow winter movie season to great success. Hollywood logic dictates that’s more than enough to earn a sequel. So now we have one, with a “2” in...

You’ve gotta say this about ‘Get Hard’: At least it tries. The folks behind Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart’s “For the love of god, I don’t want to get raped in prison” comedy really wanted to explore issues like the complex evils of ...

January is both the best of times and the worst of times for moviegoers. With the awards season in full swing, all those great little movies and tacky awards-bait epics slowly roll out to more cinemas in the hopes of making a litt...
